The predominant orientation of the fibers form an angle of between about .+-.55.degree.-.+-.75.degree. (preferably about 60.degree.) with the longer side of the panel, with about one-half of the layers having a positive (+) angle and about one-half a negative (-) angle, within the range. The panel preferably has about 60-100% of its thickness formed by the reinforcement layers. The panels can be used can be used in boat and/or shipbuilding structural panels, pressure-loaded tanks, pressure-vessels and other corresponding structures that are subjected to a lateral pressure load.
